Find and lose yourself through the meditative practice of knitting, and make objects of beauty, love and joy. Our patterns are written with expert skill from cast-on through finishing, with an eye for what is beautiful and enduring in knitwear design. Jennifer Carpenter (aka Jenny Rosa) owned a yarn shop in downtown Philadelphia for more than a decade, and taught handknitting classes and workshops. Over the years she created and refined a range of knitwear designs with a focus on circular knitting and Elizabeth Zimmerman's "un-ventions", elegant and ingenious techniques with needles and yarn. A few patterns have been published through Interweave Press, and one even made it onto the big screen as the iconic hat worn by Suzie Salmon in The Lovely Bones. Technical questions will be answered personally as soon as possible, and every effort is made to write clear and concise directions for knitters of all skill levels.
